I think it's all R35's (with the feature) but could be wrong. A tap like that could easily happen on the track, so i would be interested to hear from anyone that knows how to deactive the feature and/or replace with standard hinges?

in the uk their car/pedestrian safty rules are very very strict compared to ours. The idea is the soft bonnet will cussion some of the blow to the head nstead of the cusion being the engine block.

Find out if your car has the feature here in OZ first of all, and if it does then this is going to be more than a "change hinges job", if you hit a pedestrian and insurance finds out you deactivated it, or lets say the pedestrian died and someone takes it to court saying you had deactivated it and that led to the death...... what then???? Fair enough most of us wont have an accident at all, and even less chance of it being a pedestrian..... but still,

yep, as far as I know ALL R35 GTRs have this "feature" as part of it's pedestrian safety gear. anyway you'd be mad not to have comprehensive insurance on an R35 and of course if something happens insurance will cover the replacement cost.

assuming some bright spark hasn't dissabled the safety feature....

AU spec R35's don't have this feature, 370Z does and not sure about 2010 spec R35.

Thats a relief. Safety Nazis going mad IMO. If you need to fit a feature like this that could trigger in a gentle parking accident at least make the result of the activation "reversible" so that rams can be recompressed and re-locked minimising the cost. And what's with replacing the ECU? That just ridiculous. Why would they need to generate a non resettable flag? At least airbags only trigger when you have an impact over a certain speed, not just a gentle tap that must've been at no more than 5KPH. Same principle should apply with a pedestrian safety feature. In fact Im sure you could use some intelligence in the sensing so that if the front receives an impact associated with a higher deccelation that would occur as a result of hitting a pedestrian then don't bother with the bonnet rams, you're clearly hitting something heavier than a person. After all I wouldn't want an unhinged bonnet slicing through my windscreen at head height if I hit another car.

      I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha

      To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
